Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Windows 2003 - ring buffer - crashing

I am having trouble with a Windows 2003 server using a ring buffer of 60 files and a file size of 1 MB.  It gets to about 53 files and dies.  It looks like a separate instance of Wireshark is started for each file it creates, which eventually exhausts system resources.  This is using 0.99.5.  Any thoughts?  It also happens with larger files, but it was easier to test with the 1 MB files.
